When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
Solve -2a - 2a = 5a - 6x - 5 for a in terms of x.
| 3x - 2 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - 1 | |
| \(\frac{4}{7}\)x + \(\frac{5}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{6}\)x - \(\frac{5}{6}\) |
